Blogging and School16 Nov 2005 04:00 pm

We were friends during school. Close friends. We did a project about a fighter tank for the Open Day at our school. We wrote a story together for our school magazine. A great writer, excellent painter and a revolutionary thinker. We were a good team. We were frank with each other about everything.

Whenever I used to go back to Mysore during my Intermediate days I used to make it a point to visit him.

During my engineering days, we weren’t in touch much. He was doing his engineering from another college in the same city. And we were busy with our lives. We used to catch up on phone.

After that for 5 years, I was out of touch with him. Only recently we got in touch through a certain e-group for our schoolmates.

He hasn’t lost a bit of enthusiasm. He has become a greater writer, I don’t know if he still paints, but the same artist shows in his photos. Photography is a great hobby to have if you are good at it! ;) [PJ!] And if you read his blog you will know the level of his thinking.

Ladies and Gentlemen, please welcome Chaitanya Vikas. My good old friend. We haven’t been in touch with each other for long time. It’s now time to renew the old ties buddy!

    Well, I did that during school days! No reason why I shouldn’t be able to do it now! ;)

    On the other hand, why not let school days be school days? We might have grown into very different people now (I know I have). We both treasure those memories. Then why try to recreate it?

    Are’nt we trying to make a rapacious remix of a beautiful old song? ;-) Aren’t we trying a pathetic Lata clone here? Aren’t beautiful memories best left alone?

    We just tend to forget ourselves and go back to those school days when we meet some of our school friends

    It’s a great feeling

    I will never forget and will always be grateful for the wonderful experiences and memories of my school days. For without them, I would have ‘landed up nowhere’ like Aunty Veenamurthy used to say! :-)
